A solid app again

This is the best use of a smartphone I know of. For anyone who runs, walks, bikes or does any activity that involves moving around outside this app is a perfect idea. I have used it for a long time now and wouldn't know what to do without it! Get it. You won't regret it.

This app is working well again for the most part. There are still some features I don't like and the total separation (allegedly) of Apple Watch from the app on the iPhone seemed an overreaction to the inability to program them to work well together while other apps ran. Now, I am back to using the iPhone for Runkeeper. It still shows on the Watch but it doesn't track there. I run a different app on Watch as a backup because sometimes a glitch doesn't allow the workout to track right.I used to be the biggest advocate of this app but now that it is part of Asics I am less impressed by it. Like Map My Run (now Under Armour) the quality does not benefit from a bigger company grabbing up the apps. I would say now it remains my favorite but still lacks the simple matter of showing my heart rate (as read by my Apple Watch) on my running screen. Sometimes it makes an appearance when I am walking but I would love to have it show when running but no such luck. And yes, I have made that selection in the app so there is really no excuse for it other than weak programming.I'd say get it if you are a runner but don't expect too much.

Great app for staying motivated and tracking your runs

I’m only using the free version so I can’t give it 5, not knowing what it’s like to have the full version. For the free version, it does a great job of keeping track of mileage and average pace and the number of runs or other exercise activities you've completed. The reminders to run are also great for keeping you motivated. Using the average pace is better than having it notify you of current pace at intervals, which seems more inconsistent and unreliable as it gave me wild variations throughout my runs. I like the challenges too. I run anywhere from 3-9 miles on a given day, about 3 times a week. It also has a training schedule if you need one to train for a marathon. I wish the list of alternative activities would include an option for me to customize and add one to the list instead of just having to pick "other" but maybe that comes with the paid version. Overall, the perfect app for a novice or avid runner. Not sure if it’s perfect for the regular marathoner but I used it on my half marathon and thought it was great. I like the more recent feature of it automatically detecting a pause in your workout so you don’t have to manually do it every time and refresh it when you start up again. That was a nuisance before. Glad they included that now.

A very great app with plenty of options

I hadn’t ran in 10 years but the continued to call me even after several severe ankle injuries, reconstructive surgery on my ankle, and a meniscus repair. All injuries were after I stopped running. We received a local 5k flyer in the mail and my daughter and I decided we were doing this together. Since I had not ran or worked out in many years I needed a way to motivate myself, track my progress, and allow me to customize my workout regime in preparation for this 5k. I found this app recommended through a blog on the None to Run plan. Since my training plan was based off the None to Run plan I needed to customize a series of weekly workouts. This app allowed me to do just that and allow me to still track my progress on the treadmill until I am ready for running on the road. The stopwatch option is great for this and the audible reminders of what is coming up next in my intervals is great. I do wish that you could indicate if the interval was a walk or run, but that is a minor item. I really love it.
